I'm working with a local startup and we are looking into potential backup solutions. We have roughly 9 servers all running some variation of susE linux (some straight susE and some X Server which runs off susE).
We are needing a backup solution that will allow us to securely get data off the servers on a regular interval. We are unable to move the data off site as we are running on a single T1 line with moderate utilization, certainly not enough BW to go off site.
I am trying to transfer a domain from the server for Plesk 11.5 to 12 system is SUSE 13.1. After restoring the manager from within Backup getting errors:
Warning: python is not supported. It will be disabled for the following objects: xxxx.xx Warning: domain "xxxx.xx" Failed deployment of mail user bbbbb@xxxx.xx Warning: Execution of /usr/local/psa/admin/plib/api-cli/mail.php --create bbbbb@xxxx.xx -passwd '' -passwd_type sym -mailbox true -mbox_quota -1 -aliases add:bbbbb -forwarding false -ignore-nonexistent-options failed with return code 1.
Anyone out there have experience with SuSE over RedHat? RHEL is obviously the generalized Enterprise version used across most commercial hosting companies, but I'm interested in hearing about some SuSE experiences people have had.
It looks like SoftLayer offers SuSE and a couple VPS hosting companies do the same. I'm wondering how many large-scale sites are run on this operating system.
I am having trouble finding any providers that provide Opensuse on their configs. So far, the only one seems to be 1&1 and I certainly do not want to be going near them anytime soon.
Does anyone know of a reputable company that can provide Opensuse based servers?
I have been trying to compare Red Hat to SUSE Linux, and can't really come to a definitive solution. I can't seem to find anyone that uses SUSE (Well, hardly anyway), but I found out that they have over double to market share that Red Hat has so somebody is definitely using them. I also noticed that SUSE is cheaper too.
Based on your experiences, what are some of the pros / cons both ways? Who offers better product training (I wan't to get certified directly)? Who has better product support? Is AppArmor better than SELinux?
By the way, I am only looking for commercial linux distributions. Specifically companies that offer product training.
I have a server which runs suse linux on it. Postfix is already installed on it. But, the problem is i am not able to send mail using root. I mean using mail -v command.
I could see the following in mail logs. I know 2 files main.cf and master.cf are there.
Not, sure what to change and how.

The same thing happens will Gmail also. I think outgoing mail is not working at all.

OS is OpenSuse 13.1.Yast shows the installed version of Apache2 as 2.4.6-6.23.1..I created my own CA, and used that to create a server certificate. The CA crtificate (in PEM format), and the server key and certificate have been placed in the appropriate directories in /etc/apache2 (the key in ssl.key and the certificates in ssl.crt).
When I check the status, after restarting apache, I see an error claiming that socache_shmcb_module is not installed and that it is ignored. This is, of course wrong, as I included that module in /etc/sysconfig/apache2, and the appropriate LoadModule statement in the Loadmodule.conf file (with the proper full path - /usr/lib64/apache2). This error is the only error I see on the server.
I will be dropping my shared-hosting plan and ordering a small VPS as soon as I can decide on which operating sytem to use. It seems that most companies offer the following choices: Suse, Debian, Fedora and CentOS.
I freely admit that I am a full-fledged n00b when it comes to linux and will be learning as I go, the problem is I just don't know where to start because I'm not familiar with any of them. I have at least heard of Suse, Debian and Fedora before, but didn't even know this CentOS existed until yesterday... and yet, it seems to be one of the more popular choices.
So I was wondering if some of you seasoned VPS veterans here could recommend an OS, tell me what the differences are, or otherwise share any experience you might have with any of them.
My ISP service is highspeed from Comcast (speed right now not an issue), I would like to setup a domain name on the box to play around with - nothing serious yet.
I have several domain names purchased (Wildwest & Enom) and would like to use one of those on this box, or even more domains at a later day.
Gazzin.com offers so many OSs on their VPS deals - CentOS, Debian, Fedora Core 3, Fedora Core 4, Gentoo, Opensuse, Suse, Unbuntu. Which one would you advise me to start from?
setting up a server running ZFS as a backup server. My only problem is that it's very new to me, and naturally I'm skeptical of it's redundancy capabilities etc, I don't want to get burned. Anyone used ZFS, what's your experience with it?
I setup one Linux server, I want use SSH transfer my website data (already .tar) to another Linux server. May I know what SSH command to use and transfer my file to another Linux server?
I'd like to know, how do you backup a cPanel dedicated server to a remote FTP server? WHM's backup only allows you to backup the client's accounts, but not the cPanel settings, or the stuff in /etc?
I'm looking for a dedicated machine that will be used solely for rsync backups. (I don't want to use a shared rsync solution)
Requirements are simple, at least 1TB HD and < $99 a month. Should have a decent amount of RAM and processor, but other than that, I would think any reputable provider would do.
Most places I find a suitable server for $49 and then see it's another $50/mo. to upgrade to a 1TB hard drive. Hard to believe the markup for these larger drives considering they go for, what $89 now?
i'm running trixbox on vmware on my home vista (because i need the media center) box.. perfecto..
Anyway, i'm thinking about setting up a virtual box just as a backup server (ns3.xxxx.com?) for times like now when my server decides to fall out of the sky and nobody at dedicated now feels like responding. I'll try not to bring that issue to the forum but point is, has anybody ever used a VPS as a backup server? it sounds pretty simple actually if i could get one right now i'm game since without their e-mail my clients are helpless and they are blowing up my phone as i type.
Other question is regarding e-mails (the primary concern), many of these guys (my clients) still love squirl mail, how can i keep the boxes on either server synced? so when one is down the other 'continues'?
Time(GMT): 08:00 pm, My server takes a daily backup , at that time all my Client’s forum down(PHP)! why ? I do not know .!! it takes approximately 15 min.
It comes like this:

I currently have two VPS servers, each with 2 DNS names running on them as follows:
dns1.mydomain.com (on Server A) dns2.mydomain.com (on Server A) dns3.mydomain.com (on Server B) dns4.mydomain.com (on Server B)
I have websites running on each server and I would like to have something set-up so that when one server goes down, the other server displays a nice page saying the website is unavailable currently and will be back shortly - you know, something nicer then the normal "Server Not Found" default messages.
What is the best way to do this?
If I have CLIENTDOMAIN.COM and put them on Server A and they use all 4 DNS server names, will the top two DNS names always be used by people finding the website, and the bottom two choices only be used if the top two can't be found?
I believe I have to create an account on Server B for them as well, just only placing the temporary page within the account, rather then a whole copy of their website. Correct?
I just purchased a new server with 4 hotswap HDD of 250GB each and reload with new CentOS 5 without any host control panel.
The purpose is to backup all my other Cpanel servers data remotely. All my Cpanel servers are fully managed servers. This is the first time i'm going to do all things by myself, so I'm really a newbie. Please don't advise me to hire a server admin because I end up learning nothing I need to learn..
1. My first step now is to secure & harden the server.
- Can anyone mind to share with me valueable knowledge of basic server security & hardening? I was also thinking to use sudo root password which my serveradmin actually did but I don't know how. But su - access level would be OK too.
- I also need to install firewall and close all kind of port and block all SSH connection from all kind of IP except my server & my own IP address only. Can anyone provide me a guide?
2. Secondly what I need is to install FTPd and create user for each hard drive with 2 directory inside. /sda/server1/ /sda/server2/ /sdb/server3/ /sdb/server4/ /sdc/server5/ (reserved for future server) /sdc/server6/ (reserved for future server) /sdd/server7/ (reserved for future server) /sdd/server8/ (reserved for future server)
Does anyone knows where to find documentation how do install ftpd and how to setup user pointed to the specific directory.
I just got a new dedicated server and our server does automatic backups, but I think it only saves to the existing hard drive. How frequently do you back up? I think the standard is every Sunday or Sunday/Wed depending on your traffic load.
Where do you put your backups? A remote FTP server? A second hard drive?
